Found guilty of treason in 1937, Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984), a German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor, spent the rest of World War II in Sachsenhausen, Moabit, and Dachau concentration camps.

In I Was in Hell with Niemoeller, which was first published in 1942, Niemoeller’s former cell-mate, Leo Stein, supplements his story of his vain effort to dissuade Hitler from his course, and of the circumstances leading up to and following his arrest on Hitler's order.

“It is a strong book, both appalling and fascinating and of great value. Everybody who reads it—and I hope many thousands will do so—must be filled with admiration for a true hero of faith and with abhorrence against his torturer who, in fact, is the torturer of all mankind.”—Thomas Mann

“Pastor Niemoeller carries on in the great tradition…and the modern world is indebted to Leo Stein who shared imprisonment with him for remembering so much…To all who think that decent people can go their way in peace if Hitler runs the world I say read ‘I Was in Hell with Niemoeller’.”—Fulton Oursler, Editor, Author, Lecturer

“An unfolding story of tragedy, and an incredible story of physical, moral and spiritual intolerance and degradation under the Third Reich…Every page is convincing. A MUST book for YOU.”—Daniel A. Poling, Editor of Christian Herald
